A project, yeah.

 

[everyoneneedsasmil]

I'm fine with that

I guess you have to roll the dice sometimes. I have read some good things on him.
Does he play next year ? He is only 18 ?

 

[dubbsco]

Seems like a good kid. Wish he would get to experience actual NBA basketball.

 

[SpartyNash]

Is it wrong of me to see position as PF and just roll my eyes?

 

[biggunsbob]

Now he was the only injured guy I liked .. but then that makes me a hypocrite on taking injured players . Loved his game. Didn’t think he would go this early cause of the injury.

 

[biggunsbob]

Did Chauncey even comment on our pick ?

 

[dubbsco]

ESPN:
"It will be interesting to see how Doumbouya is utilized in Detroit with Blake Griffin under contract, as there might not be too many minutes available for Doumbouya early on at his natural position of power forward. As the youngest player in this draft class, not turning 19 until late December, the Pistons can afford to be patient with his development, and likely view his selection as an upside play, as Doumbouya could easily have been considered a top-ten prospect in this draft. Dwane Casey will like the athleticism and multi-positional defensive versatility Doumbouya offers, and will likely find ways to get him on the court eventually as his skill-level evolves. -- Jonathan Givony"

No, the Pistons absolutely cannot afford to be patient with anyone. Has Givony watched this team the last 10 years?

Alexander-Walker Only the second first round pick from Virginia Tech.

 

[biggunsbob]

I guess the Pelicans are getting all the picks lol.

 

[biggunsbob]

Bol Bol keeps dropping. He has to be he picked soon right ?

 

[dubbsco]

Nassir Little is still available?? Wasn't he like a projected top 15?

 

[biggunsbob]

Damn it Blazers got him. He would been a steal at 30.

 

[dubbsco]

Well I think you either take a flyer on Bol Bol or Carsen Edwards if either are there at 30.

 

[biggunsbob]

I?d go with Edwards then. We have Bol Bol on the team in Maker lol.

 

[gotime909]

I'd be good with Edwards or Kevin Porter Jr

 

[dubbsco]

Uh. WHAT?

 

[dubbsco]

I'm a die hard M fan, as you all know.

Terrible pick.

 

[biggunsbob]

Wow Poole makes round number 1 ! I Didn?t see that coming. Isn?t Edwards better then he is ?

 

[dubbsco]

Honestly, I did not see a single mock with him in the top 50.
